So i was wondering if there is such a thing as a verity on a error coin? like for example a 1972 ddo fs 104 on a silver planchet.....
NGC has a whole section on grading error coins if you wish to look up their site and do a little reading. I fond their site very informative and knowledgeable. There are more error coins out there than most people realize.
You mean Attributing. Grading has to do with the state the coin is in as in AU - Almost Uncirculated and MS - Mint State.
That is why you won't find errors listed in the NGC Census. There are waaaaaay too many possible errors that could be listed for each denomination, date and mintmark. For example, you could have dozens of cuds in various positions; cuds that have become larger in the same position, etc. Chris
I've had 2000-dated cents that are Off Center and Wide AM's. I've also had other mechanical striking errors with recognized Die Varieties on them..... They're scarer than most would think, but if you realize that in most Die Varieties, it involves one die - and the odds of an off center or double struck coin being minted by that particular DV die would be small.
Michael777 - sorry, but the coin above is damaged, and is NOT struck on a Clad Dime Planchet. The weight is co-incidental, the result of the coin's damage after it was already in circulation.
Frequently Asked Questions | NGC https://www.ngccoin.com/about/faq Yes. NGC will grade most circulation issue mint errors as well as most Proof mint errors struck prior to 1985. Mint errors struck after that date are evaluated for NGC grading on a case-by-case basis. NGC does not recognize as mint errors those coins with minor die chips, breaks, rotations, etc., which fall within our interpretation of mint tolerance. This is just a short part of the information you can find out about error coins. They cover mint errors on their site,just type in mint errors in the search section. I hope this helps.
and this one pcgs has it currently being graded its been a long month waiting for it ok fred so how did this coin come to be? please explain with detail
That's going to be returned to you as damaged. That's not a mint error and no you don't get your money back. It's a copper plated cent and some of the copper has been exposed showing the inner zinc. That is not a dime planchet.
I have a Van Buren Specimen dollar without edge lettering that has a die crack running from the rim down Liberty's arm. PCGS SP64.
For one thing it is what is commonly referred to as a dryer coin. Key identification is the wide rims rolled in over the lettering close to the rim. The wear and friction as this occurs removes the copper plating on the rims exposing the zinc. Most likely it is slightly smaller in diameter. If it was struck on a dime planchet the planchet, being smaller than the cent, would not show rims and the details of the cent would extend to and possibly past the edge of the planchet. Sorry, I'm not Fred, but I am sure he would agree with me.
